DANZEL WASHINGTON AMERICAN PATRIOT!!

Subject: Denzel Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center
Don't know whether you heard about this, but Denzel Washington and his family visited The troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio,Texas (BAMC) the other day. This Is where soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States, especially burn victims. There are some buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying In the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled
most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build.
He took his checkbook out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot!
The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the AmericanPublic, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.
The question I have is why does:
Alec Baldwin,
Madonna,
Sean Penn and
Other Hollywood types
Make front page news with their anti-everything America trash and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the local newspaper in San Antonio.
GOD BLESS YOU DENZEL
FOR YOUR PATRIOTISM
I received this in an email. It came with lots of photos of him at this place. It truly was amazing

Sister Tina,
I agree with your thoughts completely. I've always wondered why so many very wealthy people never help others. This is a good human interest story, and I enjoy reading good news like this. I remember a time when the news was mixed between good and bad news. Now it appears that the news media only concentrates on bad news.
On the other side of the coin, I know many people with barely enough resources to take care of themselves, yet they still give to their church and people less fortunate. I really like what Denzel Washington did and I hope that other rich people follow the example he set for many needs. In contrast, I must say that I have tremendous respect for people who have very little and they share it with those who need it more. This is an example of real love, especially when we try to help people we don't even know.
Love In Christ,
Tom
Matthew 25:35-40 NASB 'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.' "Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'

Although it appears the check was not for the full amount it was true that he donated a sizeable amount. And that is praiseworthy in and of itself and does not alter the situation of why this would not make front page news as well.
For every article that makes the news about the Dixie Chicks should be 10 times as many who show support of our troops and what they stand for.
